The children here in our school, Colegio Evangelico Isaias Emmanuel, celebrated "Dia de La Raza" today. This translates to "Day of The Race".
On October 12, 1492 Christopher Columbus set out on an expedition. Columbus and his crew arrived at an island and believed they were in the Indias. They later discovered that they had arrived at an American Island. This was a very memorable day because when the discovery was made, contact between Europe and America began! The union of two worlds took place!
The classrooms were full of beautiful vibrant colors along with the sweet voices of the children. The excitement of this Holiday was booming through the air!
The children that you see in these pictures are in Kinder, which is actually the year before they move up to Kindergarten. They are 4 years old and enjoyed celebrating Dia de La Raza!
Thank you to each and every one of you who support these children by giving them a chance to receive a Christian education. Also, thank you for allowing them to participate in the celebration of our history!
